/r/askscience was one of the highlights of Reddit - I’d love to help establish a similar community here in /c/askscience. I especially liked that posts and followup questions were rewarded for being inquisitive, and that off topic/inaccurate responses were removed. Posts on topics I’m familiar with were filled with scientific information, and I learned a lot from posts on topics outside my area of expertise (also the ones in my area of expertise, to be honest).
I have a science background (nuclear physics) and lots of experience communicating with remote collaborators. I’m fairly active on lemmy (on another account, I created this one to be my semi-professional one) and would generally have no problem checking the site at least 3 times a day. And I have no issues with mod coordination over Discord.
I check Lemmy about twice a day, work in and foster a collegial environment, and have a background in science. I can't say I would be intensely active, but currently there is less than 1 post per day here, so even a little would lighten the load.
Sorry, I didn't see the thing about Discord. I'm not going to use that.
Hi there. I'm interested. I've also got a science background (life sciences), it's my job to communicate well, and I've been working remotely on a distributed team for years now, so I know how important communication and coordination are. I'd love to help foster an inclusive and informative community, and I can check Lemmy pretty frequently (multiple times a day). I'm okay using Discord. (I'm already on Slack and Telegram basically 24 hours a day, so it'd be great if that were the tool of choice, but Discord is fine, too.)
I just created an alt on lemmy.world because I got a notice about un-federated reports. Commenting here so I can give this account mod status, too.
